If you’re a fan of the FX fright fest called American Horror Story, you’re in a bit of luck there. FX has renewed the series for a second season of haunted ghosts and haunting neighbors.
The second season of American Horror Story will be a 13-episode order.
The show has been growing in ratings to such a degree that it is apparently on track to become possibly the best ever rated first season for a cable series on FX.
But it’s also possible that the second season will not have the same cast. Right now the series cast includes Dylan McDermott and Connie Britton.

- American Horror Story premiered last night on FX. The cast includes Connie Britton, fresh off of Friday Night Lights, Dylan McDermott (Dark Blue, The Practice), Taissa Farmiga, Jessica Lange and a few others in what seems to promise a horror story laced with sexual overtones. (There are light spoilers following in this TV Review.)
Upfront Warning: I know you’re all responsible adults and such, but if you DVR’d American Horror Story and have young kids, you will be answering all kinds of questions if this is on when/if they’re around. So beware!
The story in American Horror Story is about a troubled couple Ben & Vivien Harmon (Britton & McDermott) who move to Los Angeles. Their troubles seem two-fold at best. They lost a child at birth and in addition, she catches hubby “pile driving” someone in their bed. Oh, and then, they move into a haunted house. Just peachy!
They move from Boston for a fresh start and end up buying a wonderfully cheap Los Angeles Victorian for on the cheap. Of course, they’re warned about what happened to the previous occupants, a murder-suicide. And that’s where the fun begins. Their neighbor (Lange) has a daughter, Adelaide (Jamie Brewer), with Down Syndrome, who can’t seem to stay out of their house.
